The top krux bushing is just a little bit shorter than the ace. I'm not sure about the hardness but they feel pretty similar. I'm also still just using the stock ace pivot cups and their working fine for me.
The ace bushings felt rock hard to me. Krux aren't exactly soft but they have great rebound and are just all around higher quality than the Ace bushings. You can skate the ace pivot cups until they blow out but you might as well get some Khiro soft small cups to have on hand
i felt the same way. everyone i knew who's been on Ace for awhile told me that they get softer but they're really almost like 96A and i didn't even realize that Bones Mediums are that durometer. Honestly haven't gone back to bones and have stucked on Indy Standard Conical Red's. everything else is too hard/tight even if i ride on a couple threads of the nut. I wanna try Bones Soft one more time because Bones does have that broken in feel rather than the mushy feel you get with Indy's till they're fully broken in.
ACE have changed the bushings a bit from what I can tell. The older ones are more of an off white color whereas the newer ones have a blue-white look to them. The old one were two duros, 94a bottom, 92a top, at least that is what they told me.
Bones Mediums are 91a, softs, 85a.
ACE and Bones softs, man, that's a floopy loose ride...Bones med bottoms and soft tops is nice, Conical Reds are nice as well. Krux in ACE are the bee's knees. To me, they feel best with barrel bottoms, conicals (unless you are riding hard bushings) are just too unstable in them.
That said, I did ride ACE lows with Bones hards and it was awesome
